What Makes Them So Special?

[alwaysawake]

I think Toni has enough hot air to be an excellent Walmart greeter! (Geez, that sounds like Dustin Hoiffman in Rain Man...I'm an excellent driver! LOL)

HATARA... A generous and lovely lady who unselfishly gave her time and energies to making sure Oman and I were "connected" off the LIT site! I'll always be thankful.

MR. CHIPS... "Float and Sip" always cheered me whenever I found myself soaking in the tub when Oman wasn't available to be online.

LADY (now QUEEN) JANE... Another blast from the tub days, and the many moments of fun (and excitement!) from this royal one from across the "pond".

Hope the many I haven't mentioned (yet!) realize that you all have a special place in my heart as well.

(Double post!)

A couple more (since this spot posted double!)

LOVETOREAD... Spent time on the boards with the infamous "Shit" thread, and shared her adventures as a fellow LDR with her moving eastward (while I moved westward!). Wishing all the best to her and her family.

CARRIE-ON... Good to see her name on the boards, and remembering how kind and thoughtful she's been to both Oman and myself.

OH MY GOSH!!!!

Geeez, I start reading these posts about each person's friends,lovers,significant other,ldr and i cant believe and dont tell anyone but I start to get teary eyed.

Years ago,omg I bought a pc on sale and signed on to the internet.In the back of my mind a little thought,just a little,
i thought
http://members.aol.com/soreste/woohoo.jpg

I could find and see pictures of nude um um colored hoisery

One day,while looking up um um um websites dedicated to the symbolism in war and peace,I stumbled across LIT chat.I signed in,just to see what it was all about.I almost didnt come back when 3 minutes online ,a young lady asked if I wanted to cyber.
When I asked,what's that?? she disappeared. LOL, didnt think that was friendly so decided it wasnt the place for me.However, one boring sunday morning,I didnt have anything else to do,and I had just moved out of town and knew nobody where I was living.
I signed on to chat and
OMG!!!!!!
MY LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED FOREVER.INCREDIBLY FOREVER!!
The first lady I ran into was one already mentioned LADYBIRD
who was talking to two others,pleasureu now known as blue dolphin and ladylove.She pulled me out from my shell,after noticing I was there but not saying anything.Wow,she was in australia and Iwas in missouri.She touched my heart so much,
putting up with my non knowledge of australian slang.From that point on,I came back once in awhile.YEA REIGHT!I came back daily
and kept meeting more and more people.Incredible people!!!!!!
Un believable people!The sweetest people,the funniest people,
the most caring people!!Everyone touched my heart in one way or another.GOSH,these people actually put up with me.Then, one day,I met a certain lady,so wondorous I still cant find enough words to tell her how much she means to me.From the moment we met,I knew this special lady had to be part of it.Over cyber space,i touched her arm,she touched my soul;i touched her kneeafter of course getting my nerve up slowly and she touched my heart; i kissed her lips and she made me hers forever. Our
aussie friends led us to the boards ,and along with the special
friends we already had,met many many more incredible poeople who also my heart felt very close to.Ive shared with my friends on the boards and in chat,good times and bad times,funny times and times of heartache,times when they or I couldnt feel higher,
or times when we couldnt feel lower.Which leads me to this day,
WHERE DO I START????? There were special ladies who touched me before jenny (sssshhh)),there wqere the chatters who like sweet baby lee and ladybird and AA and hatara and p and mayi and carrie-on and many many more who accepted me andwe shared the special relationship of being tubbers together.Some became very close we considered ourselves as a family,with brothers bone,AA and me protecting our sweet innocent baby lee.
There were those i met like mayi and shameless flirt and tulip2service,who after I got over being nervous meeting,found out they were the same wonderful people they were online,but they were actually real LOL!! GEEZ,even had LADIES BUY ME DINNER TWICE!!!!!! I did protest,just to let you know!
I,also,got to meet jenny,who once my eyes met hers,I know it sounds cliche',but i knew i had met my soulmate!! Then,the boards,meeting other special people like jewelz and secret scribe and soron who let me both bare my soul in true confession and share our lives good and bad,there are those that shared the same type of relationship we had in jenny's ldr thread,where we were able to share happy times of upcoming meetings and help others through the relationships that didnt work out,the tubbers with their many threads,Cookies and rosy's many threads where they would supply you with everything from an insightful thought,a laugh,a milkshake and a stripshow all at the same time
and there are the many posters who in many of these threads
touched me,people who like tonitis who at first was just someone special because she became one of my favorite friends AA world
but then i got to know why AA think she is so special,and boomeringue with her insightful thoughts.

Iknow who i must first start with
jenny,no mere words can say what she means to me.How wonderous she was to accept me,this midwesterner as her own.
Her love,so big,she gave the only world she knew,to become part of mine.How amazing of her,to leave the big city of new york,in green acres fashion. She hasnt just entered my world,she has become my world.GEEZ, my relatives,i think,even like her more than me and i dont blame them. The day I met her,i checked her for bruises,because i knew it must have been a long fall from heaven. Jenny,i love you with all my heart!!

After all ive gone through,and all the wonderful people,other than jenny ive met, now you know why i ask

WHERE DO I START???

Oman, you have expressed yourself and your feelings so well. No wonder you had tears in your eyes!

You are an amazing man, who speaks from your heart and your soul. I am so thankful to be loved by you!

 

[tulip2lipservice]

Hitting you all

Like Oman wrote I too need to say, "Hmmm where do I start now." I also need to figure out where do I end with all the wonderful people I have talked to and met over the years at my stay in lit.

I do know I treasure the friendships and countless hours of companionship via lit chat. So many of you allowed me to touch your hearts as you have mine. Some have motivated me to get out and live again and saw me through the pain and hardship of breaking off an engagement, my mom's illness, my job situation, getting dumped in Paris, my grandmother's death, 9/11, and then my mom's death. Then we can throw in a few different turmoils of different relationships via on line or off that some have helped me through.

So many of you will not realize how much support you have given me. At the same time you allowed me an outlet for my writing and to come to appreciate that I have a gift of it.

I have fallen in love or perhaps the idea of love with lit. It was like a spark that reminded me how I felt at 16 in a crush where one gets all tingly. It reminded me that I can feel that way again.

At the same time I have like some of you hated lit because of the countless hours of being there. The urgentcy and yearning to meet another. The limbo of when I would be with that other again. The the trials and tribulations of could it truly work.

As most of you know I have met over 130 people from lit give or take and everybody has been wonderful. So many of us so different in careers, gender, races, religions, beliefs, et al and yet such kindred spirits.

There is one that I have never met and for that matter I do not think I truly ever will. It is not my loss but his and in a way I believe him to be a facade now but the hopes that a man the way he painted himself to be exists out there is within me. For that I thank him and he knows who he is and that is if he is a he.

Jenny and Oman I am so happy you both took my advice on meeting as soon as you could and made this love of yours blossom to the stregnth it is today. It gives me hope as I am sure others. I know it wasn't easy but some things worth it isn't

AA I remember those countless hours and I am grateful for the time we spent and the friendship. Like any relationship things drift apart and that is ok cause it is life. You know I am still looking forward to that teddy bear hug and I might be in Wa in December. Will let you know when I get the tickets.

Ladybird the moment we met in real life that smile of yours got me. It wasn't the smile on your lips but the depth of your smile within your eyes that let me know how wonderful you are even though I already knew it via your words.

Gil we are connected and I do worry about you. You took me and grae in for that weekend and I just love ya to death cause of it but most of all for who you are. You are a caring man that wants to take others pain away. Not many are like that.

Tinks so many countless hours we spent on MSN with you listening to the diarrea of my words until there was no more and the moving on happened. Thank you for that but most importantly thank you for finally being honest and reassurring me that my intincts wasn't lying to me.

perky_baby my featherduster, the one I share that tatoo momment with, branded for life and a reminder of our friendship. I am glad you took me up on the offer to come out that night to meet others here for poetry. Would you ever believe it would have been so many we have met?

ShamelessFlirt one of my first partners in crime. I am not sure if he ever did figure out how to read me. It seems like when he is about to I do something different. He is an author and I respect him for the ability he has to express what so many of us feel. Many hugs sweetie.

Islandman my younger brother...so glad you finally did come out to meet us all. I bet your life hasn't been the same since.

BiGurlie so many countless hours we too spoke on msn. Thank you for attempting to arrange that hook up at the airport even though I knew it wasn't a good idea and wouldn't have happened. Thank you for encouraging me to submit my first story and the hours you spent editing it for me. Hugs and miss you. I hope your life is going well and the way you want it to. I also have to make mention to my male friend but his nick has slipped my brain.

Morgaine La Fay we seem to have the same taste in men and I suppose that is a good thing. I am glad I got to meet you and that I can call you a friend.

Elusive Silk the way we began to talk some would say is bizarre but I feel your honesty with me allowed me to see who you were and the kind loving person you are. I am honored to call you friend and our anniversary is coiming up.

Jacqline hugs you know our lives are paralell in so many ways.

Mick or Irishwolfhound my friend my confidant through so many. Thanks for the dance on the beach and most important thank you for listening so many times. Good thing the other was good while the other needed another. (hope that makes sense)

Hatara thank you for the laughter and the concern for others from the tub.

BlueDolphin a wonderful poet with an insight to life.

LordMagicMan another wonderful person who has a big heart.

Mayi for the laughter also and starting the tubber thread

Heavy and Cleo my birthday sharers

Woman what a woman!

Kat for the Philly trip and being my friend.

Mr. Chips for the ducky dance.

Maverick ya a cutie.

Kotori if only.

Spacewrangler hugs.

Md and Wife what a wonderful couple.

cheesysusie both of them..... it is confussing who is who now as so many other names are blending in as I write.

I know I am forgetting many people and that does not mean that they are forgotten or wasn't apart of who I am. There are also some that I simply forgotten their nick but have come to know them by their name.


Peace,
Tulip

Love ya too Tulips.

I'll second yankee, what a thoughtful idea is right! Thankfully someone drew me a map so that I found it

I thought I would add a few of my own for good measure:

Illinois_Guy2:

Because there is nothing better than a good rapid-fire round of posting abuses and insults. His wit is unmatched, and he always manages to keep me on my toes, despite the fact that I threaten him repeatedly with pointy objects. And because I secretly have the hots for him even though I will never admit it

A Lit-ster who shall remain nameless:

For the "what were's" and for bringing me to Lit in the first place. If you read this, you will know who you are. You will always have a piece of my

MidwestYankee:

Because he is my non-reality everything. The smile that starts my morning; my voice of reason and logic; the laughter in my day; my coach; my tutor; my perspective; and most importantly, my friend. It's a rare person who constantly strives to take the high road; he truly is a king among men. And because I don't know anyone else who can write a wicked haiku properly!

It occurs to me that I have left out two very important people from my list. A thousand apologies. I have no excuses.

Sirhugs-
My very favorite posting slut. He was my first Lit pal who took the time to show me the ropes and help me find a comfy place to settle. He is the most gallant of all knights and his silly slut rhymes never fail to make me smile each and every day. He is a Lit gem of the highest order

And TigerJen-
Because she is the most cheerful person I have ever met. She always has a kind word, her bubbly moods are infectious, and her candid posts have earned her my respect and affection. She is another of my favorite posting sluts

Very kind of you GG, as I also enjoy matching wits with you.

And we both know that you just proclaim to have the hots for me to get my hopes up so that you can have the pleasure of dashing them.

But the thing I most appreciate about GG is the fact that she is too slow to catch me with those pointy objects that she has repeatedly threatened me with, thus saving me from numerous puncture wounds.

But I'm probably straying from the intended purpose of this thread with my smartass statements above, so I will close with this: GG is one of the most enjoyable people to post with on Lit, and I secretly have the hots for her too.

(of course, I secretly have the hots for the majority of the ladies I come across on Lit)

Be still my beating heart, could this be an honest to goodness compliment from IG? I am printing this and hanging it on the wall in my office as proof that it really happened!

Thank you IG, you know you are my favorite smart(PIT)ass
